Greetings, Does anyone own the Sawstop contractor saw? How do you like it? How effective is the dust collection feature?
My old Delta contractor saw is on the blink....probably should go the Sawstop route.
Thanks in advance.

So many threads on this already. You might get some flak for starting another. I own a SS PCS so I cant comment on the contractor saw, but from everything Ive read its great just very expensive for what it is.
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success!

I agree with Scott. I had the contractor saw (bought used) and upgraded to the cast iron wings and t-glide fence. I ended up upgrading this saw to an ICS when I found a used on available in the area. If I were buying today, I would opt for the PCS over the Contractor saw.
I have the contractor saw with cast wings and 52" fence. Been using it since before the PCS came out, so it was the $2k contractor or the $4k ICS. Easy choice back then. No complaints. Good saw, fantastic dust collection for a contractor saw. About three years ago I made baffles between the legs and hooked it up to a 6" feed to a 3hp Oneida. That was the best move ever. I might consider the PCS if I made the choice today, but to b honest, the contractor saw has left me wanting for nothing
I have one and I like it a lot. It is a nice saw.
I have contractor with a 36" t-glide and cast iron wings. I thing it is a find saw. I chose it over the cabinet saws because I am in the military and I have to think about weight since I move around every 3 years or so. The dust collection is pretty decent for a non cabinet saw. It doesn't get everything but I'd say it is over 90%
